Braunton Parish Registers: PARMINTER & KNILL

[DevonKnill]

Hi
It has been fascinating and very helpful reading these posts and learning more about both Robert Knill (b1690) and Mary Knill née Parminter. I've been researching my (Knill) family history since 2005, and I've consulted Braunton Museum's transcriptions (including their 'Braunton Baptisms 1538 to 1652', 'Braunton Marriages 1538 to 1837' and 'Braunton Burials 1538 to 1837') a number of times. Just an idea, but could Robert's father be John Knill, son of Richard and Christian Knill? The following information is from my research at Braunton Museum:

Lewes Knill and Elizabeth Knill née Stoate, had the following children (baptised in Braunton):
Phillip Knill, bap 21 Jul, 1639
John Knill, bap 17 Jul, 1641; burial 2 Aug, 1641
Unknown Knill, burial 11 Aug, 1642
Thomas Knill, bap 13 Aug, 1643
John Knill, bap 17 May, 1646; burial 19 Jul, 1646

Richard Knill (son of Thomas Knill and Thomasin Knill née Allen, my 10th great-grandparents) and Christian Knill née Froste, had the following children (baptised in Braunton):
Gyles Knill, bap 9 Jan, 1630
Anne Knill, bap 6 Jan, 1632
Robert Knill, bap 24 Jun, 1635
Thomasin Knill, bap 25 Feb, 1637
Richard Knill, bap 28 Oct, 1640
John Knill, bap 22 Jan, 1642
Sabina Knill, bap 13 Apr, 1645
Hanna Knill, bap 25 Jul, 1647
Hanna Knill, bap 6 Mar, 1649
Christian Knill, bap 9 Nov, 1652

Hi John
Good to hear. I've got quite a lot of info about some of the many Knills, maybe drop me a line and we'll see if we meet up anywhere in the tree, we could then swap more info if it's appropriate.

Sure. I have been trying to figure out more about my family history. All I know is that we were once royalty.
